Re: Category list broken after update
clever…. I’ll play around with that and see if I can get it to work.
Thanks

Re: Category list broken after update
Aaarg…. I cannot get it to work…. the plan suggested by Jukka works, sort of….
At the moment the code does not make any of the children appear, it just calls in the articles labeled with the parent categoy (animals) but the dogs and cats are still missing.
Subsequently, as I now have a article_custom, I can’t get the pagination to work…
I tried etc_pagination but this seems to be too complex for me… in the end it sort of worked creating a next and previous button, but each revealed exactly the same articles over and over again.
Any thought on how to tackle this problem?

Re: Category list broken after update
Haha, the animals were an example, we don’t actually make books about dogs or cats :)
try:
http://www.sidestone.com/library/
the code I used was:
<txp:if_category>
<txp:article_custom section="library" category='<txp:category_list parent=''<txp:category />'' break=","><txp:category /></txp:category_list>' listform="Sidestone_list_library" pgonly="0" searchall="0" sort="Posted desc" time="any" status="4" limit="4" />
<txp:variable name="numPages"><txp:etc_numpages pageby="2" /></txp:variable>
<txp:etc_pagination range="1" pages='<txp:variable name="numPages" />' pgcounter="page"
link="Page {*}" first="First" prev="Previous" next="Next" last="Last" />
<txp:else />of course followed by the article code for the normal txp:article and ending with </txp:if_category>

Re: Category list broken after update
Hi
but where is a link that not works like expected? wich category has subcategories?

Re: Category list broken after update
Most categories have subcategories, these books currently just don’t show up. As it is a live website, I don’t implement code that doesn’t work… so I don’t have a live-example… visitors should be able to use the site.

Re: Category list broken after update
I’m afraid that for the time being, I’m giving up my attempts, I’m getting rid of all subcategories and will switch them to the main categories instead. Thanks to all for you help.

Re: Category list broken after update
The code you posted has some errors in it:
- article_custom has no attributes such as
listform,pgonlyandsearchall, andstatusis set to the default, making it redundant. pagebyis set to2while limit is set to4. Both need to have the same values.timeis set toanywhile pagination is counted based on the default,past, and theetc_numpagesdoesn’t have the section neither categories set.
Basically, both tags, article_custom and etc_numpages need the exact same attributes, otherwise the number of pages won’t be calculated correctly.
